The fact that the op has even 1 insightful is downright sad.

It was probably an ironic insightful. I give those occasionally cos it's pretty funny lol.

Having finally gotten round to playing a with a stupid bow for the first time in years, I can confirm that the lag is a HUGE part of the problem.

Was playing BGs, get a snipe off on a guy at full health, take him down to about 80%, few more seconds pass;
"You finished off DiedToLag"
(Not using poison to steal kill with dots either)

Bow builds are still dumb, especially if used with cloak, but holy hell this was broken and through no effort of my own.

Edit: I also find it pathetic how this community eats a new player alive for saying stuff like this, when clearly there is an issue with how the game presents itself (with the lag) creating a false perception. This IS a game problem, even if you want to just call the OP an idiot because he got the mechanics behind the problem wrong.

Animation cancelling is a sore point for many of us; so many players want to eliminate it without actually understanding how it works. When misinformation is spread time and time again, people have a tendency to get frustrated. It’s not right, but I understand where those frustrated are coming from.

Anyway, I’m getting so tired of the proliferation of bowtard builds in BGs at the moment. I am guaranteed multiple deaths to Snipe-related health desyncs every single play session. Not every match, but every play session. I’m almost tempted to stream this crap and make a tally.

Its important to understand that often these type of threads or constructed in a way where the initial point is spoken truth. And that type of misinform spreads. Many of us on here grow very tired of constantly having to correct them. There are few, if any subjects in this game as misunderstood as "animation canceling" and what it really amounts to.

The poster in particular, opens his/her thread with such pompous certainty that what they are saying is fact, that the only natural reaponse is to shut them down.

The crux here is that this post likely exists purely BECAUSE of other misformed posts that the OP formed his opinion on in the first place. Its a cancer that needs to be stomped out. These people dont inquire as to the whys, but instead making sweeping assumptions and call for changes when in reality that know absolutely nothing of the subject that are involving themselves in. I for one can not stand people like that online or in real life, and im sure im not alone. Those type of people in my experience need to be broken down. The OP didnt come here for clarification or insight to the cause, instead they thought they knew what they were talking about and made a fool of themselves. The only thing pathetic here is the orignal post.

Yeah...that pretty much nails it!

Game's not 3 months old any more, there's little excuse for the level of misinformation like that presented in this thread and dozens others like it.
